Holidays

Everyone looks forward to their holidays. Going on holiday is easier when you know how you accrue your holidays.

Holidays in the education, training and research sector are determined by collective agreements. Some personnel in the sector fall within the scope of the Annual Holidays Act. Teachers whose working hours are based on the teaching obligation do not accrue actual annual holidays; instead, these are referred to as non-teaching periods, such as summer breaks.

The following, among others, are entitled to annual holidays:

early childhood education teachers, day-care centre directors and special needs teachers in early childhood education
